The roots of this oil are deep in the Sicilian almond tradition

The almond is one of the most authentic symbols of Sicily, a land that boasts one of the oldest and most prized almond traditions in the Mediterranean. Introduced to the island by the Greeks and Phoenicians thousands of years ago, the Sicilian almond is renowned worldwide for its quality, intense aroma, and high content of precious oils. The "Vinciatutti" variety, from which this oil is derived, is an ancient and native cultivar, a testament to the richness of Sicilian biodiversity. Sweet almond oil has been known and prized since ancient times, not only as a food, but also as a precious beauty ingredient: women in ancient Rome and the East used it for skin and hair care. Molino Crisafulli preserves this dual tradition with an ultra-pure oil, cold-pressed from an ancient island variety.
